What a lame excuse that a G5 doesn't have the range.

She must be using Miles O'Brien as her aviation consultant.

Yeah, we democrats really rip off the public. Not like those fiscally conservative Republicans and their 'small government'.

No rip off...you guys would probably give a GV to everyone on WIC with our tax dollars if you could get away with it.

What's you point Capt?

Yeah the Dems have been a total failure so far. Except they have accomplished more in one month than the Republicans accomplished in 14 years. Hmm...if that is failure, I'll take it.

It'd be a good job for the over 60 crowd. Keeps them flying and keeps the younger guys happy with upwards movement.

Yeah, WIC is a terrible program. Kids whose parents are down on their luck don't DESERVE good nutrition! I think we'll all benefit eventually if they can't realize their potential! That's what will help us compete on the international stage, undernourished, under-educated kids in our future! Sharp thinking!

Regardless of political party, the Speaker of the House is entitled to a 757 for serious reasons. As 2nd in line (despite what Al Haig thinks!) is something really bad should happen, she needs access to the additional capabilites the 757 provides over the G-V.
